Courses on Human Factors in Aviation play an important role in the certification process of EAAP. In order to qualify for EAAP-certified Aviation Psychologist, Human Factors Specialist or Junior Aviation Psychologist, members must complete such courses successfully.
Accredited courses may be organised by EAAP or by other institutions and experts with recognized competence and reputation. Available (aviation) human factors courses not organized by EAAP may be recognized by the EAAP board to be equivalent with EAAP organized courses.
In some cases a special agreement is made between EAAP and the organizing institutions or experts. Part of the agreement is that EAAP not only recognises the course as being equivalent to an EAAP-course, but also announces it on its website. A direct benefit for EAAP members participating in such an EAAP recognized course is, that they will receive a reduction of the course fee of 15-20%. In some cases special rates for EAAP student members are offered as well.
